"Once, wlieii I was In New York
pome yeiirs ago." saiil A. W. Whelpley,
I found myself one afternoon stand
ing before a counter in one of that
city's largest dry goods bouses select
ing some collars.
"A yood many men sallied up while
I was there and ordered collars of
various sizes, from 1.'! to IS.
I heard a full, rather hoarse voice,
ask for 'turn down, 1M.'
' I turned to note the man with the
thick neck and beheld G rover Cleve
land beside me. I knew him by bis
resemblance to the fellow on the cij;ur
1kxcs.
I had been given my change and a
small incket of wares by the auburn
haired goddess of the counter, and with
one more glance at the generous pro
portions of the man of destiny I was
moving away when, strangely enough,
the autocrat of the house of congress,
Tom Heed, came steaming up to the
counter.
"There they stood, neither evidently
knowing the proximity of the other.
"Ami bless me if lie didn't ask for
collars, 'second medium, welt baud,
turned front. 21 !'
I wondered if he thought, the store
provided a surveyor for such mon
strous measures, but the goddess was
equal to the occasion and handed out
the desired size." Cincinnati Enquirer.
